also the same as EAP in calgary. this seems to be their signature style. i love it though.

Negative.

I was surprised to find a forum on skyscrapers let alone following a Hines Project. Glad to see they're going strong. I'm still reading the thread from 2013, but has the final height been confirmed yet?

Clev · #**271** Posted **Feb 21, 2015, 8:23 AM**

The height is confirmed to be 757 feet.

230 meters. just short of Heritage Plaza! That's pretty big, too bad it's going to be hidden from the front of Downtown.

It won't be hidden coming down I-10W, I-59S and I-45S which is the most iconic view of Houston.

Is it me or is it only the Texas Cities (Houston and Dallas) that have really embraced the glass building...at least with style. We have a few opaque monoliths but I've always thought of it as an 'Emerald City'.
When is the projected completion of the project?

Urbanizer,
Question: How do you get these shots? I'm a photographer always trying to get higher and you clearly have a enviable position for the photos.
